#19 and #22     EMD SD #3441 (also seen on a different day in photo #14) was originally a Pennsylvania RR SD40 built in
                       1966 so predates not only Conrail but also Penn Central. Rebuilt to SD40-2 specs by Conrail. Roster
                       shows it as a CRCX (NS) unit but sublettering on cab is PRR.   Seen with D9-40CW #9090 at Karnes.

#23 and #24 UP SD70M Flare trails a more conventional SD70M at Ruger (on NS, south end of Karnes).
